asterisk users - Jun 2003 - Queue App

I think I solved the errors I was getting with my patch,
sort of anyway.

Brief over view:
Tell all the callers their position in the queue.
When they move, tell them their new position.

I was receiving Thread xxx already blocked by xxx.


I found that if I only tell caller 4 and above (Which becomes caller 3)
that their position changed, I do not receive the errors.

So this seems to work as of now.  I will be using it today, and will let
everyone know.

This patch is still not bug-free.  It was causing my server to crash 
without warning...

One of these days I will understand Mark's full plan and outline.  It 
is hard, since I am
only looking at a few of the apps that are there, and have not spent 
too much time
on the whole thing.

Just a note to Mark and others.


In queue.conf, there is a reference to "announce-markq" that I believe
comes default uncommented.

There is no sample file in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/announce-markq


If there is no file there and/or you misspell the filename and the
system can't find the "announce file" it will hang up on the
person
calling in.
Generates a console log of Channel hanging up on call and caller is
going to be pissed. LOL


It might be better to do a if/then statement for the announce file so if
it gets moved/deleted it wouldn't cause a problem with the system.


Just my 2 cents worth.
